I landed on Vulcanus, setup a base so that I can launch rockets from there. Unlocked of course the drill and foundry. I could not kill a worm yet. I need more weapon upgrades from Nauvis.
My question is :
What do you transport from Vulcanus to Nauvis? only the drills, foundries and orange science?
I find medium worms with tanks really hard (haven’t done the bigger ones yet), because they make these magma puddles that are hard to avoid and smash the tank immediately.
I usually set up 50 turrets in a 6x8 (roughly) rectangle and fill that with uranium ammo. I lay poison capsules and sometimes use defenders. That usually kills them, though sometimes I still need to help with the tank. If its not dead in a couple of seconds I need to try again. Maybe I’m overdoing it…
By the time you are dealing with medium worms you should have the railgun from aquilo.
Shoot it when it is charging at you because the round penetrates several segments causing massive damage.
I haven’t even left Vulcanus, though I am currently researching Gleba. Besides my starting patch of tungsten I didn’t find another without killing a medium worm. I feel like I haven’t spent enough time on vulcanus, my base there is a bit messy still, but I have all the resources I need now. Do you usually research all the planets in short succession to get all the tech before you expand your base on them?
